Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile v6555 Installation

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 8.1 on a Fujitsu v6555 (and am very new to BSD in general) running Gentoo Linux on my machine for the past few months just gave me a sort of a taste for it .. and have trouble booting the live CD .. after some digging it seems that it might be a problem with the chip-set that FreeBSD live cd does not have a workaround for as of now .. after some more digging I found that booting with ACPI disabled does not work either .. which seems to be the only option I found .. then tried installing using the PS-BSD live disk and it worked .. but will not boot .. gives me the same error as the live CD .. it is not able to detect any boot devices at all .. however can install and boot PS-BSD just fine .. my hardware configuration is as below:

Would really like to move to FreeBSD .. all help will be much appreciated ..

Thanks .. best .. Shiv
 
If a full install of PC-BSD works, then all you have to do is turn off all the extra things enabled, mostly in /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf, and you'll have FreeBSD.
